CVE-2009-3720

The updatePosition function in lib/xmltok_impl.c in libexpat in Expat
2.0.1, as used in Python, PyXML, w3c-libwww, and other software,
allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service
(application crash) via an XML document with crafted UTF-8 sequences
that trigger a buffer over-read, a different vulnerability than
CVE-2009-2625.
